Good Luck m8.

I carry out interviews at my work so here is some free advice:

1. Do some research about the company you are being interviewed by. I get really pissed when people do not even visit the website to find out the basics about us - they do not get the job!

2. Find out as much as you can about the role on offer and what they expect from you. That will allow you to ask some pertinent questions to show that you have bothered to dig into things.

3. Be honest - if you do not know then say so. the person interviewing you is on a tight timescale usually so don't waste his time or yours.

4. Relax! The guy doing the interview is probably as nervous as you :-)

5. Smile! We don't employ miserable people.

Finally...


GOOD LUCK ME OLD MUCKER!!!!!

HTH?

I take it you mean this coming Monday Sheepy?...........what time is your interview because if it is later in the day phone the Company early, get the name and phone number of one of the reps already working there asnd ask them about the job (good and bad)......

Like BB I also interview and nothing impresses more than the man who has inside knowledge ahead of an interview.....particularly if it is information specific to the job you are applying for!!

Go get em that man!!!   :lol:  :lol:  :wink:

Just heard today that i didn't get the job. And it was a petty reason they gave as well so probably just as well. Have more options open and will let you know what happens
